Frustrated

I have been trying to get certified copies of my divorce agreement, so I can the title of the house changed over to me and update my loan info. I want to get my ex's name off the loan, and I don't want to have to find him to sign papers if I want to sell the house. It has been a frustrating process. Basically I need to be in California so I can go to the courthouse and pick up copies. I can't order them over the phone, but I can mail in a request. Although through the mail you have to guesstimate the costs of the copies and it takes 4-6 weeks to hear anything from them. This is almost not worth the hassle. Once I get the copies I have to send it the county recorder office so the title can be changed over, and wait another 4-6 weeks. Then once I actually get the title I have to deal with the bank, and probably another month of paperwork. I might put the house on the market before that, so you can see why I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. Sometimes I wish I could the time to go to L.A. for a couple of weeks and just get it all taken care of. Meh!!!
